Alex Eala cheered on by Gauff, Mboko after SEA Games run

Alexandra “Alex” Eala was cheered on by fellow tennis stars Coco Gauff and Victoria Mboko following her successful Southeast Asian Games campaign in Thailand.

In a social media post on Friday, Eala shared photos from her SEA Games stint, accompanied by the caption, “Para sa Pilipinas at para sa Pilipino.”

In the comments, world No. 3 Coco Gauff wrote, “Congratulations,” while world No. 18 Victoria Mboko added, “Oh yeahhh.”

Eala brought home three medals from the biennial meet: a gold in women’s singles, along with bronze medals in mixed doubles (with Francis Casey Alcantara) and the team event.

This capped off a historic year for Eala, during which she entered the WTA Top 100 and won her first WTA 125 title in Guadalajara last September.
